(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Having a baby should be an exciting time in a woman’s life—however, because of a lack of reliable information, it can easily become the most stressful. The Mommy Docs’ Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth by Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park—top OB/GYNs who also happen to be moms—contains fact-based advice gleaned from their combined forty-five years of medical experience—as well as their personal experiences as mothers.
From before conception to after delivery, this guide addresses what women can anticipate during each trimester, baby’s birth, and the first days at home. Starting with preparing your body for pregnancy, the authors discuss Ovulation 101, the stress “when sex stops being fun,” and choosing a doctor. They go on to explain healthy ways to add the 300 extra calories per day required to support a developing baby, and cover such topics as when to tell people about a pregnancy, how to decide who should be in the birthing room, and how long it’s normal to still look pregnant after giving birth.
The Mommy Docs’ Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth also busts myths—such as “cocoa butter prevents stretch marks,” “never fly on an airplane during your first or last trimester,” and “walking makes you go through labor faster.” And there’s a section that answers common pregnancy questions on everything from changes to a woman’s body (swelling legs, numb hands, and hot spots on her belly) to the safest sleeping positions. With this book, women no longer have to surf the net, stumbling upon worst-case scenarios, to find the answers they need.
Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park are board-certified OB/GYNs who’ve been in private practice in Los Angeles for more than a decade. Between the three, they’ve delivered more than 10,000 babies. All three women star in the television series Deliver Me, previously seen on Discovery Health and premiering soon on OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network).
